Deb Dav Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) My youngest can't decide which team to support in the F.A Cup final. He says he will go with the majority voted. Therefore please help us with this dilemma. Personallly I am a West Ham supporter but he says that doesn't count.

ali-s Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I have voted Liverpool I know nothing about football, but I do like the colour red (They play in red, don't they?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Liverpool, as my family supports them and I love them. The people are so kind, I'm also related to Bill Shankly(legendary manager) so I want Liverpool to win. They should out class the Hammers.

Louise Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I am in the who cares category but I voted for West Ham as an ex of mine who I still occasionally talk to is an Everton fan and he would go nuts at me if I voted for the 'other lot' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only kidding thought Villa derserved better, could have had a couple more goals. I am a Liverpool fan, as ive mentioned in another thread. How are you related to our Bill ? (Legend doesnt go anywhere near describing him, he has saintly status around Liverpool) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Yer I was there on Saturday! We did deserve better I suppose. Shanks in my great cousin and somewhere in the family we have letters, a medal etc. I've never seen them though. But I know my aunty owns most of the letters and I think I get them in inheritance.

Cate in NZ Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I'm in the "who cares" camp I'm afraid, football obsesses hubby and son, so I do pay a passing interest in their teams, but no-one interests me out of Liverpool & West Ham. That said I have voted.... asked son, who said Liverpool on the wonderfully well thought and unbiaised argument of they're better, they've got Gerrard and I hate West Ham I shan't enter him into any debating society just yet then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play Martin, should be worth a few bob in years to come, well, probably worth a few bob now, but dont sell them if they do come into your possession, nice pension plan for you.

Martin B Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 If they comeinto my posession they WILL NOT be sold. Also I think Liverpool will win by lots now, West Ham are rubbish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I agree Martin, West Ham are likely to get a good thumping, but I think people are voting with their hearts, not their minds....West Ham for me please, (oh, and please let them beat Spurs next week too)!

Guest Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 hopefully - neither of them will win it...

Louise Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I know this is a little early but it seemed to fit in nicely Subject: FW: WORLD CUP HOUSE RULES Please print off the following and affix to the fridge/ironing board/above the sink so that she knows what's going on throughout June and July. It'll make a better life for all of us. LIST OF RULES FOR WOMEN 1. From 9 June to 9 July 2006, you should read the sports section of the newspaper so that you are aware of what is going on regarding the World Cup, and that way you will be able to join in the conversations. If you fail to do this, then you will be looked at in a bad way, or you will be totally ignored. DO NOT complain about not receiving any attention. 2. During the World Cup, the television is mine, at all times, without any exceptions. If you even take a glimpse of the remote control, you will lose it (your eye). 3. If you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game, I don't mind, as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without distracting me. If you decide to stand nude in front of the TV, make sure you put clothes on right after because if you catch a cold, I wont have time to take you to the doctor or look after you during the World Cup month. 4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute, unless I require a refill of my drink or something to eat. You are out of your mind if you expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone, or pick up the baby that just fell from the second floor....it wont happen. 5. It would be a good idea for you to keep at least 2 six packs in the fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things to nibble on, and please do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over to watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV between midnight and 6am, unless they replay a good game that I missed during the day. 6. Please, please, please!! if you see me upset because one of my teams is losing, DO NOT say "get over it, its only a game", or "don't worry, they'll win next time". If you say these things, you will only make me angrier and I will love you less. Remember, you will never ever know more about football than me and your so called "words of encouragement" will only lead to a break up or divorce. 7. You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game and you can talk to me during halftime but only when the commercials are on, and only if the halftime score is pleasing me. In addition, please note I am saying "one" game, hence do not use the World Cup as a nice cheesy excuse to "spend time together". 8. The replays of the goals are very important. I don't care if I have seen them or I haven't seen them, I want to see them again. Many times. 9. Tell your friends NOT to have any parties or gatherings that requires my attendance because: a) I will not go, b) I will not go, and c) I will not go. 10. But, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to watch a game, we will be there in a flash. 11. The daily World Cup highlights show on TV every night is just as important as the games themselves. Do not even think about saying "but you have already seen this...why don't you change the channel to something we can all watch??", the reply will be: "Refer to Rule #2 of this list". 12. And finally, please save your expressions such as "Thank God the World Cup is only every 4 years". I am immune to these words, because after this comes the Champions League, Italian League, Spanish League, Premier League, etc. Thank you for your cooperation. Many Thanks Your Husband/Partner Sound familiar to anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I must be the luckiest girl on earth. Darren has no interest in football at all and much prefers to sit with the girls. Infact, it was me that had the season ticket to Leicester a few years ago. (Maybe I'll point him in the direction of Phil's posting on moisteriser ) A good post Louise. I'll send it to my SIL as my brother is described perfectly above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
